Samsung Series 5 Chromebook review

It’s been nearly two years since Google introduced its vision for a new kind of operating system centered around a web browser. In November of 2009, Google unveiled Chrome OS and promised that it would eventually herald a new type of netbook with larger displays and touchpads and super-fast 7-second boot times. it’s taken more than 18 months, but today the first Chrome OS laptops, (or Chromebooks as Google likes to call them) are scheduled to hit the streets.

The Acer Cromia is available for $380 and up while the Sasmung Series 5 has a starting price of $430. For $500 you can also pick up a 3G capable model with 100MB of free data per month for two years from Verizon. Samsung loaned me Series 5 Chromebook for the purposes of this review. Although I’ve been a big fan of the Google Chrome web browser for the past few years, the Series 5 is the first device I’ve used which is designed specifically to run Chrome OS and nothing else.

If you look at the Samsung Series 5′s spec sheet it actually looks like a lot of other notebooks on the market. It’s powered by a 1.66 GHz Intel Atom N570 dual core processor and GMA 3150 graphics. But while most Windows 7 netbooks have 10 inch displays and 1GB of memory, this Chromebook has a 12.1 inch, 1280 x 800 pixel display and 2GB of RAM. It also has 16GB of solid state storage in lieu of a hard drive.

You can play local music, movies, and pictures on the Chromebook. There’s a built-in file browser and support for USB storage devices or SD cards. But the media players that are built into the OS are pretty basic. Ultimately the Series 5 is designed for use with web apps and you’ll likely have a much better experience if you think of Chromebooks as devices for accessing the web and little else.

That’s harder to do than you might think. While I spend most of my waking hours sitting in front of computers with web browsers open, there are some tasks that are still much easier to accomplish with native apps. While online image editors such as Picnik , for instance, offer most of the features I need for cropping, resizing, or retouching pictures, it just doesn’t feel right to have to download an image from the web, upload it to the web, edit it, download it again, and then upload it to WordPress in order to post it on my web site. I’m not even going to try to do the same thing with a 2GB video file.
